    This cactus has arms for hugging, not slugging!

    Experience has taught you well. You are wise to be skeptical of plants with teeth.

    Elvis is (as usual) right. Approach that thing at your peril.

    No cat worth their tuna would waste their time on one of those silly scratching posts.

    Lupin and Elvis are skeptical. Who knew how quickly they’d join forces after the debacle of the bell?

    Once bitten and all that. Elvis should insist Lupin tests it.

    Elvis has a point (unlike that suspicious cactus). Listen to him.

    You can buy a scratching post just like that on Amazon!

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    Puckmosis: You have a wonderful school here, Floofnet. And this bacon is exquisite.

    Floofnet the Joyous: Thank you. I work on new recipes all the time, but I miss some of my old ones.

    Beatrixia: I think we can help with that. We found the Great Pyramid’s Hidden Scroll Library, with many of your scroll recipes.

    Floof: That’s wonderful! There are a lot of other classic scrolls in the library as well! Julia Kitten, James Whisker!

    Bea: They’re all there. Violet and I are in the process of organizing the archives.

    Floof: I would love to go and see the old place. And see how Thomios is doing as a master chef.

    Lupinium: He is doing great. You have to try his kibble pie and his chocolate everything desserts.

    Puckmosis: Recently he started on honey recipes. We reconnected with Queen Titania and her workers.

    Floof: I’ll bet he can even put a smile on Melpomene’s face.

    Elvis has a point. Reversing that training and teaching them that cacti are to be scratched and played with might not turn out well in the long run.

    Mom & Dad’s new couch doesn’t have teeth and doesn’t bite back. Play it safe, and go after furniture.

    In the living room from the other side of the border

    She was just sitting there like she was waiting to take my order

    With her jaunty flower beret

    And her enticing pom-pom sway

    And I knew, yes I knew I should leave

    Then I heard her say, yeah

    Come a little bit closer

    And get scratchin’, boo

    My rope is so strong

    Come a little bit closer

    Nothing’s wrong

    And your claws are so long

    La, la-la-la la-la

    La, la-la-la la-la

    Ho-oh-oh

    Ho-oh-oh

    Ho-oh-oh

    Elvis, look at it. It’s smiling. It’s friendly. I think it likes you. Go on. Put your delicate paw pads directly on it. Feel the tactile sensations.

    Feels good, doesn’t it?

    Now extend your claws. Take a swipe at it. Ah, that’s it. Really dig in.

    The face on the cactus is telling Elvis, “Come scratch me, I know you want to!”

    In addition to several scratching posts in the house, I have one in the back yard. It looks like an old log from the forest; it is an old log from the forest – nature’s scratching post.

    So funny! When I lived in Phoenix, my sister and her husband and their two boys came for a visit. We had those boys so afraid a cacti would bite them that they wouldn’t pose in front of one!! :)

    Oh yes, Elvis; you were “trained” and “taught”. By pointy-sharp cactus needles sticking in soft little cat paws, certainly not by heeding anything from the Man or the Woman who tried to spare you such pain!

    Gotta agree with Elvis here. Why would you shape something the cats are supposed to touch like something they’re not?

    Foxy the Giant Fluffmobile loves cacti. We have big ones in pots, and when she used to go outside at the old apartment she would get in the pot, use the cactus as a grooming tool, then go to sleep. Somewhere I have pictures of her sleeping in the cactus.
